I have a variable that stores html code for a webpage. The html code may includes a set of urls, some of these urls are linked using the anchor tag but other may not linked using the tag.

How can I select the unlinked urls to replace them with a linked version.

Please do read the tag descriptions before adding them to a question. The [tag:qregularexpression] tag has nothing to do with JavaScript regular expressions. – Heretic Monkey Jun 27 '16 at 22:08
@Mike McCaughan sorry for that – faressoft Jun 27 '16 at 22:09
